About Me

CURRENT MISSION

If I could I'd love to save the world! I've just spent the last two years teaching high school Maori boys literacy and these have been the most rewarding years of my life!
My current venture is teaching horse riding to local kids, this is a heap of fun and I am very proud of their progress!

I am travelling Latin America with my partner to refresh my Spanish, while living the teenage dream that has taken me to my 30's to actually pursue.

I ride and train horses - they are the backbone to my life in New Zealand. I have recently started a horse riding business teaching students and running school holiday programmes.

I have planted a berry garden and small orchard at home. I enjoy tending to my vegetable gardens and being outside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals and have true cultural experiences this year.

I'm looking forward to hosting people after our trip when we get our own house set up!
